...swum the fastest 400 meters of his life. But Moore was faster. With McLane nine feet behind him, Wayne had covered the distance in 4 min. 36.2 sec., nearly five seconds under the Olympic record. Only three swimmers have ever beaten Wayne's time: Japan's Hironoshin Furuhashi, Australia's Marshall and Ohio's Konno, who surprised most tryout watchers last week by having to thrash desperately to squeeze out his third place and Olympic berth behind Moore and McLane...

Furuhashi holds the world records for 800 yards and 1,500 meters; Yale's Marshall holds eight of the other ten.* After setting his two latest records in the N.C.A.A. championships a fortnight ago (TIME, April 9), Marshall modestly remarked, "Furuhashi is still the greatest."

Calisthenics built him up by an additional 20 in Only Japan's Hironoshin Furuhashi, who holds world records at 800 and 1,500 meters (TIME, Aug. 29), seems to be a match for Marshall. If his present plans go through, Marshall will get his chance at Furuhashi in an international meet in Tokyo next month. This time, Marshall will be swimming for Australia instead of Yale...
